4. What We DO NOT Do With Your Data

6. Data Retention

Active Accounts:

  • Account information is retained as long as your account is active

  • Event logs are retained according to your plan limits (7/30/90 days for Free/Pro/Power)

  • When you delete your account, all associated data (feeds, events, devices) is permanently deleted within 30 days
  • Backup copies are purged after 90 days
  • We may retain minimal transaction records for legal and accounting purposes (e.g., subscription history)

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted to/from our servers uses TLS/HTTPS
  • Encryption at rest: Database and backups are encrypted
  • Password security: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with per-user salts
  • Write key security: Feed write keys are hashed and never displayed after creation
  • Access controls: Strict role-based access to production systems
  • Regular security audits: We review and update security practices regularly

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
